Stayed Aug 6, 2025Upon arriving, we were somewhat taken aback by the foot high weeds and the UN-mowed grass on the property. The inside was tidy, only one tray for ice cubes in the freezer and the place reeked of “air-wick solid” room scent, for which I immediately felt a headache coming on. The wooden cutting board was questionably sanitary with many black (mold?) knife marks, a NOT NEW sponge for dish washing, (a brand new dishwashing sponge should be provided for every new guest as sponges harbor bacteria!), and there were no reading lamps in the living room or bedrooms,…just harsh fluorescent LED lightbulbs in ceiling mounted wire fixtures. The window air conditioner was adequate for the kitchen/living room area, but not the master bedroom; I placed the floor fan provided (which was covered with dust), on a closet shelf, but the oscillation feature did not work. Access to Houghton Lake was somewhat misleading as it was a 6’ patch of sand on the shore designed more for launching kayaks, over sitting and enjoying the lake view. The only place to sit outdoors was a table and 4 outdoor chairs (which had abundant bird droppings on them), in the “backyard” overlooking the weeds, the garage door, and perhaps a sliver of the lake between cottages across the street. All in all it was disappointing, a bit “seedy,” and we left early. ‘Guess this was a lesson in “you get what you pay for.”

Stayed Aug 1, 2025I went up with my best friend to attend a wedding on a different lake in a nearby town. The location of this cottage made it easy for us to get to and from the wedding. While the cottage has lake access, it’s not any type of beach front but you can load kayaks easily. However the ease to find a public beach is easy enough. There is plenty of parking for more than one car. The neighborhood is quiet and restful. The cottage itself was very clean and put together and had everything we needed for our trip. The host have been kind and gracious. I’d us it again.

Stayed Jun 30, 2025Overall was a very nice little place. The bunk beds were adorable. I would however, recommend having more hand towels in the kitchen available to make dishwashing a little easier, but this is more a suggestion not a complaint.

Stayed Jun 12, 2025The lake house was lovely! The owners communicated very well. The only thing I would have changed is stating in the ad for the listing that you cannot walk to and hang out at the water. That was the sole reason for booking this location. My kids love to fish and were looking forward to just walked 200 feet to the lake, but we weren’t able to do that. Otherwise, the price was great, awesome setup and quiet neighborhood.

Stayed May 21, 2025It was very clean and cozy. The weather was still cold to catch any fish so we stayed in more than planned. Located in a convenient spot. Close to restaurants and party store. Just over an hour to Traverse city. Not too far for groceries. Only could stay 3 nights. Communication from owners A. My husband made a good choice for our short getaway. Close to the lake and a marina. I would go back here.

Stayed Jul 29, 2024My twin really enjoyed the kayaks & bikes. It was a sweet quaint cottage on Houghton Lake w/ a good location. We are from the south & have very nice high quality water. Saying that, I'm not used to the smell of the tap water, which I was not be able to drink. It was comparable to a sulphur or an egg smell. Not sure if the water softener wasn’t working or not. Over all that is the only concern I had. The owners are very nice & hospitable. Enjoy the cottage & our time spent there.
